How to Get Grants: An Experiment

We’ve had a great year creatively in 2024, but a shit year financially. Here’s how we plan to save ourselves.

Pat has designed a one-year experiment to see if she can create an income stream from grants, and James decides to join in. In this segment, we lay bare the factors involved and the approaches we’re going to take. Join us to find out how you can do the same. 

Questions for you!

  1. Have you ever tried to get a grant to fund your creative projects, or a spot in an artist’s residency to buy yourself uninterrupted time? 

  2. How did it go? 

  3. What’s the biggest exaggeration you’ve put on a grant application? 

  4. What’s your method for getting references? 

  5. If you got a grant of 10K this year, what would you do with the money?
